that economy is incredible.

Not bad huh? Its a little bit higher here in Brisbane due to more congestion on my route to work, but on a 10-20min trip to work in very much stop-start traffic here it still gets less than 12.5L/100km which i think is fantastic for a car of this size and performance.

I'm hoping for a little bit more than $10K (understandably). :down:

PRICE NOW DROPPED TO $13,500!!

This is a VERY good deal for a stagea. If you know anyone who wants one, they will need to be quick to snatch this up!!

I will consider all reasonable offers.

FAARK ME!!!

im off to the bank.....

and dont worry oldschoolers, im keeping the R30 project....

will this pass a roadworthy inspection? and how much rego is left?

Should pass roadworthy no probs. I'm happy to organise that (was planning on getting it done this or next week).

The only modifications that may be questionable are the larger turbo, safc, and boost controller but all of those are well hidden and the car runs very well so I dont see it being an issue. Either way I would be more comfortable to sell it with a RWC for peace of mind all round.

Current SA rego expires 27th March. not sure if its easier to go from SA to VIC or from QLD to VIC...but a QLD Roadworthy cert should make it pretty hassle free anyway...

I'm hoping to stick to the $13,500 price because I know it will sell at this price. Its a bargain.

Let me know if/when you want to come and have a look at it :(

will be in brissy from the 25th to the 30th...

will be staying at my bros place in carindale... are you far from there?

might get my old man to take it fro a test for me if thats all right... if he likes it i will get him to put a fatwad deposit on it (cash...)

will call soon

actually i got my dates wrong, will be up next tuesday night... so is an evening between wed & fri any good??

yep any night next week will be fine :blink: just give me a call to confirm on the day or something and i'll make sure i'm home :D

just a side note

the mods to this are pretty good, im thinking there is a fair bit more tunign potential?

am i right assuming you left it how it is now to keep the good fuel economy?

and would there be a significant power increase with a 040 fuel pump, GTR injectors, and a re-tune

and a front-mount kit?

off to bank in next 30 min...

er, yes. :(

Basically the main limitations at the moment are the fuel pump and intercooler.

Yeah that and the cost of mods (both in extra fuel and the initial purchase cost per item).

Any increase from this point is only possible through pumping more fuel through the system so I think its safe to say its at its most efficient setup right now, and has a lot of potential hidden away :P

and would there be a significant power increase with a 040 fuel pump, GTR injectors, and a re-tune

and a front-mount kit?

hehe, YES! I'd say with these mods you'd EASILY reach 200awkw. To go further, I'd recommend upgrading the tuning ability, maybe a powerfc (speak to 'tangles' from SA who has done this recently to his auto stagea s1) or otherwise I've heard the GReddy E-manage can work well - provided your tuner knows how to install and tune these on an RB25.

Bearing in mind the auto gearbox will start to suffer the further you step above 200awkw. There's a few stageas with 200awkw doing just fine after 1-2 years but 225awkw seems to be the breaking point for a stock auto gearbox.

It DOES have the auto shift kit as well so this should give you a bit extra strength in the auto gearbox. It was fitted by MV Automatics in SA so speak to them regarding how much effect the shift kit will have to reliability.

Just FYI I now have a QLD RWC. There were no issues (as expected).

I've also had quite a lot of interest in the car this week, not surprising because it is a VERY low price for a series 2 Stagea!

However as yet I still have not taken any deposit on it so it'll be strictly first come first served.

Once I receive a deposit I will post again to let you all know :D

Good luck with that sale man.

Damn, if its still around in the next week, hell I might buy it (I shouldn't ... money gotta go to a new house).

:D

Come on guys, my stagea is still for sale...

I know the price is LOW but there is nothing at all wrong with the car (maybe I should ask for more?? hehe).

Price now dropped to $13000 if anyone is interested, or MAKE AN OFFER :P

Wanting to sell it asap. Need to pay off whats left owing on it.

STILL FOR SALE, HOPING TO SELL IT THIS WEEKEND!!

Please make an offer...

If you're after a very cheap series 2 stagea with good performance and awesome potential then this is for you!!

There are NO problems with it. Just want to sell it quick before the car I'm hoping to buy also sells...

EDIT: car is now SOLD. sorry.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
